Curious about soldering? Whether you’ve struggled with stubborn seams or want to explore more advanced soldering techniques, this hands-on class is your chance to level up! We’ll demystify the many forms of solder — wire, chip, paste, and even pick — while focusing on their uses with both copper and silver.
You’ll learn how to:
Choose the right type and flow temperature of solder
Use flux and understand oxidation differences between copper and silver
Control heat for small, medium, and large joins
Set up for success using sweat soldering, butt joints, and pick soldering
Troubleshoot problems (like pits, gaps, and incomplete flows)
Use paste solder for efficiency — when and how it's your best friend
Apply finishing tips to clean up your joins beautifully
Come with curiosity and leave with confidence (and maybe a few small soldered projects too!). Instructor - Sue
